When a player joins while the game is in the briefing screen, he cannot listen/see any communications from other players, unless they use Global Channel.

Something that can be related is that the new guy's name does not show up when he talks/writes, and his name in the Players tab shows like an AI, not the actual player name.

The other players already in briefing can see and hear the new guy sais/writes, without name though.

Repro:- Start a mission in a dedicated server with a client on (e.g. admin)- Stay on Briefing screen- Another player joins

Repro2:- Start a mission in a DS (e.g. login as admin)- Admin goes to briefing screen- Second player JIPsVerify that the messages can't be seen.- Second player leaves- Admin uses #reassign- Admin goes to briefing of mission again- Second player joinsMessages of each player can only be seen without player name (author) in front of them.- Second player leaves- Admin uses #missions and picks a mission again (can be the same)- Admin goes to briefing- Second player JIPsIssue shows up again.

Problem:1. The old player sees new player text/voice2. The new player only sees old player text/voice if he speaks in Global Channel3. New player does not have a name when he talks and in players tab shows the name of an AI
